With the new additions, the COVID-19 tally in Mumbai stands at 11,19,030 and the death toll is 19,624 as of Monday.
It is for the first time since June 8 that Mumbai has not seen deaths from the infection for three days in a row, the official pointed out.
The 235 cases added to the tally were the lowest after the 295 recorded on May 25, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation official added.
The recovery count increased by 431 during the day to reach 10,95,849, which left the metropolis with an active caseload of 3,557, he said.
Only 31 of the 235 new cases needed hospitalization, the official said.
BMC data showed the recovery rate was 98 percent, and the growth rate of cases between July 2 and 10 was 0.047 percent.
The caseload doubling time was 1,446 days and the positivity rate stood at 3.58 percent, as per civic data.
The overall number of coronavirus tests rose to 1,76,36,515 after 6,549 samples were examined.
Officials have said that the number of cases detected on Monday is generally on the lower side due to the lesser number of tests being carried out in the preceding 24-hour period.
Incidentally, the number of tests carried out over a 24-hour period on Sunday was 10,417, BMC data showed.
